Before we can move forward with the transfer of samples we will need to obtain permission in the form of Informed Consent.
Prior to tissue banking we will arrange a time to go over the consent form and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about participating. Consent forms are currently provided in English and Spanish. Additional translations can be made available if adequate time is provided before the transfer. 2 original copies of the consent forms will need to be signed. One signed copy will accompany the samples to the tissue bank and the other signed copy will stay at the originating hospital.
